Introduction; forms of corrosion
(uniform attack, pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, erosion corrosion,
stress corrosion and hydrogen damage); thermodynamics aspects of corrosion
(free energy, cell potential and EMF series, application of thermodynamics to
corrosion); electrode kinetics (polarization, mixed potential theory, passivity
and corrosion rate measurement); corrosion testing and monitoring; methods of
corrosion protections (cathode protection, anodic protection, chemical
inhibiters, coatings, and material selection).
